HeadsetControl wurde in der Version 4.0.0 veröffentlicht.

HeadsetControl ist ein plattformübergreifendes Werkzeug zur Steuerung von USB-Gaming-Headsets unter Linux, macOS und Windows - es verwaltet unter anderem Sidetone, Akkustatus, LED-Beleuchtung und Equalizer.

Version 4.0.0 markiert den ersten stabilen Release nach einer kompletten Neuimplementierung von C nach C++20. Damit einher gehen typsichere Fehlerbehandlung, eine neue High-Level-Bibliotheks-API sowie über 20 neu unterstützte Headsets, darunter Modelle von Audeze, Corsair, HyperX, Logitech und Sony.

Highlights - the C++20 Rewrite:

• Type-safe error handling with Result<T> returning rich results instead of ambiguous return codes
• New high-level library API enabling HeadsetControl as a library via C++ (#include <headsetcontrol.hpp>), C/FFI (#include <headsetcontrol_c.h>), with static and optional shared targets
• Protocol templates (HIDPPDevice, SteelSeriesDevice, CorsairDevice) reducing per-device code by 60-80%
• Data-driven feature system replacing giant switch statements with capability-descriptor tables
• Comprehensive test suite including unit, mock-device, and integration tests
• Reorganized project layout into lib/, cli/, tests/ directories

Breaking Changes:

• Requires C++20 compiler (GCC 13+, Clang 16+, Apple Clang 15+, MSVC 2019 16.10+)
• Source reorganized; headers renamed .h → .hpp
• New library targets and install layout

New Device Support:

20+ devices added including Audeze Maxwell 2, Corsair Virtuoso variants, HyperX Cloud III/II, Lenovo Wireless VoIP, Logitech ASTRO A50 Gen 5, Sony INZONE models, SteelSeries Arctis Nova variants, and Plantronics/Poly Voyager 8200 UC.

New Features:

• Noise filter capability (Audeze Maxwell)
• Parametric equalizer (SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P)
• USB vendor/product name retrieval
• Per-capability platform specification
• Packaging: Windows NSIS installer, Linux AppImage/.deb/.rpm

Notable Fixes:

Multiple battery reporting corrections across SteelSeries, Logitech, and HyperX devices; inverted ChatMix mapping fixes; out-of-range battery voltage handling improvements.
